Midge Ure

Who he is: A Scottish singer and producer who had loads of success during the 1970s and 80s, especially as the lead singer of Ultravox. Midge—which is a phonetic reversal of his real name, Jim—released his first solo album, The Gift, in 1985 led by the chart-topping single, “If I Was.”

Other bands he was in: Slik, Visage, Thin Lizzy, Rich Kids

His legacy: Ure’s legacy isn’t just on the stage—in 1984, he teamed up with Bob Geldof to create Band Aid to spark famine relief efforts in Ethiopia. In the early 2000s, the pair teamed up again to arrange the Live 8 concerts, which earned Midge status as an OBE: an Officer of the Order of the British Empire.

Special Guest Richard Lloyd: Along with Tom Verlaine, Lloyd created one of the most quietly profound punk bands to emerge from New York during the 1970s. Their 1977 debut, Marquee Moon, re-shaped the rock ‘n’ roll landscape by discarding blues structures and creating a new, energy-packed guitar vocabulary.
